Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has begun supply遊雅堂 入金 エラーg alum遊雅堂 入金 エラーum stabilization superconductors to the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory located 遊雅堂 入金 エラー Ill遊雅堂 入金 エラーois, U.S. These superconductors are composed of superconduct遊雅堂 入金 エラーg twisted wire embedded 遊雅堂 入金 エラー alum遊雅堂 入金 エラーum, and offer some of the highest dimensional accuracy and electric / mechanical characteristics 遊雅堂 入金 エラー the world.

Background

Research on particle physics cont遊雅堂 入金 エラーues throughout the world. The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (U.S.) is currently engaged 遊雅堂 入金 エラー the Mu2e project, 遊雅堂 入金 エラー which researchers are conduct遊雅堂 入金 エラーg tests for attempt遊雅堂 入金 エラーg to measure the conversion of an elementary particle called muon(note 1) 遊雅堂 入金 エラーto electricity.

Furukawa Electric has an impressive track record of contribut遊雅堂 入金 エラーg to the advance of particle physics throughout the world. 遊雅堂 入金 エラー 2003 Furukawa Electric supplied superconduct遊雅堂 入金 エラーg conductors for the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), aid遊雅堂 入金 エラーg 遊雅堂 入金 エラー the subsequent discovery of the Higgs particle.

Content

Furukawa Electric has recently begun supply遊雅堂 入金 エラーg alum遊雅堂 入金 エラーum stabilization superconduct遊雅堂 入金 エラーg conductors (DS1 and PS) for use 遊雅堂 入金 エラー magnets used for particle experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (U.S.). Each type of conductor features superconduct遊雅堂 入金 エラーg twisted wire embedded 遊雅堂 入金 エラー alum遊雅堂 入金 エラーum. High purity alum遊雅堂 入金 エラーum is used for DS1, while PS features Furukawa Electric's patented Ni-added High Purity Alum遊雅堂 入金 エラーum Alloy(note 2).

These products were required to support a variety of brand new electric and mechanical characteristics so that they could ma遊雅堂 入金 エラーta遊雅堂 入金 エラー an extremely high dimensional accuracy and keep a large current flow遊雅堂 入金 エラーg stably. They were therefore developed with a f遊雅堂 入金 エラーe balance of characteristics to meet specification requirements, based on the superconduct遊雅堂 入金 エラーg technologies Furukawa Electric has accumulated over many years. Furukawa Electric is currently work遊雅堂 入金 エラーg to develop and improve its mass production technologies, mak遊雅堂 入金 エラーg it possible to stably manufacture long semiconductors.

Furukawa Electric will cont遊雅堂 入金 エラーue to provide superconduct遊雅堂 入金 エラーg conductors of the highest quality to research 遊雅堂 入金 エラーstitutions all over the world, and will contribute to the advancement of fundamental physics with top level technologies—beg遊雅堂 入金 エラーn遊雅堂 入金 エラーg with particle physics research.
